Something you may not have known about the music sequencer...

Okay so you know those sample sounds that come on when your cursor is on an instruments, it makes a simple tune, yet when you use the instrument it doesn't sound like it (specifically synth strings)?

I discovered a useful trick that you probably (at least I) didn't know about.

If you select a note and tilt left or right on the right stick, it will change certain properties of the sound. For example, synth strings will sound more like strings, concertia will have a distict eastern feel to it, triangle wave will have more "pan flute" like sounds, etc.

You can see if it works if the notes turn orange or some other color.

Hope this gives your sound variety a lil more OMPH!

Now all we need is to figure out how MM made multiple tracks switch on and off D:

[Beedy10]

They add as many channels as there are instruments (makes like 'Interactive' music), then put multiple sequencers in the level, with different volumes on the channels. This way, different instruments start/end at different points. Hope this helps.

Oh. My. God.
Thank you so much!
I made 4 songs and guitar never sounded great, I'll see if it works !
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I've only just started playing around with the sequencer, so this will really help a lot - many thanks!

ya know, this is in the tutorials, if you don't wanna try to figure out every function by yourself i prefer you to really watch them

I think a lesser known fact about the music sequencer is that you can change an instrument without losing any of the notes by simple placing a new instrument over the old one.

Funny thing is that I discovered that waaay before this trick lol

Another thing you can do with music sequencers is treat them like regular sequencers. Say you have a song that you want to change something about in the middle (For example, switch to a swing beat). Just put a battery after the last track and connect it to the input of the next music sequencer in the set.

Actually, this works with other items as well. I discovered this feature to my horror when I attempted to place a follower too close to a gravity tweaker and instead of pasting the follower, it converted the tweaker into a follower instead!
